| Hello all.
Just curious to know what is at my pepino. It doesn't seem to be affecting any of the plants I have growing near it, such as lettuces, lemon grass, passion flowers and brussels sprouts. Unless, of course, that's the problem and it's a bad companion with one or more of them. Thnaks for your help. |

| It isn't easy to tell without seeing the plants but I would hazzard a guess at Pepino Mosaic Virus. Do the leaves have a paler 'mosaic' effect too? Such viruses often cause leaf distortion similar to what your plant has even when the paler colour is not so obvious. I would remove and burn the plant as the virus is easily spread to lots of other plants especially tomatoes. |
